STRING

Description

STRING

A variable-length string. The maximum (default) size of it is 1048576 byte (1MB). The length of the string type is also limited by the BE configuration string_type_length_soft_limit_bytes(a soft limit of string type length). The string type can only be used in the value column, but not in the key, partition, or bucket columns.

Note:

Variable-length strings are stored using UTF-8 encoding, which means English characters occupy 1 byte, and Chinese characters occupy 3 bytes.
